The trick to playing the best Steam demos
Briefly

The article reflects on the overwhelming nature of Steam Next Fest, where countless game demos can lead to a sense of confusion and disinterest due to the sheer number of mediocre offerings. Gamers are advised to exercise patience, as most demos remain available post-festival, and engaging with gaming media can help filter out the best experiences. The piece emphasizes how waiting can enhance enjoyment of demos, as it allows for exploration of recommendations from trusted sources instead of rushing to sample every title.
Scrolling through last month's Steam Next Fest was like visiting the local ice cream shop to taste the seasonal sweets - only to discover that the tubs of new flavors now extend so far into the distance that you can't distinguish where the freezer ends and the horizon begins.
If you remember one thing from this story, may it be that most of these Steam Next Fest demos remain on Steam long after the festivals wraps. The ticking clock of a 'limited-time' festival? Little happens when the countdown flips to zero. So don't stress.
